No 3Khz coils anywhere!??

[Tired Rooster]

Just got my 705 last night and assembled it today. Raining like crazy here so will have to wait to use it. Have already decided to purchase a 3Khz coil for it and can't find one anywhere. Nobody seems to have one! Called 4 different dealers.......out of stock, back ordered and was told " good luck finding one......we can't get them." What gives? Is that coil that popular or is it a common Minelab inventory issue? Will have to be patient I guess, but hard to do with a new MD just itching to be used.

get out there and hunt with what you got...? I got the gold package since i already have the 9"concentric 7.5kHz with my x30/I'm up $14 dollars in clads and a silver ring since i got my 705 five days ago..hope you have just as much fun and thrilling finds as i am....happy digs

I should be able to buy that 6" coil with coins in 6 months

Oh Yeah!!! I'm definitely gonna hunt with what I got. I got the gold pack. Didn't mean it that way. As soon as the weather clears and i'm off work I'll be in the field learning how to use this machine. I can't wait. I just was really wanting to get a 3Khz coil to add to the arsenal. I'm reading digger's ebook and the instruction manual today while it rains.

The standard 7.5kHz concentric coil is a great all-purpose coil for general detecting in parks and such. If you have difficulty getting the 3 kHz coil, then the standard coil would be a great addition to the 18.75 kHz DD coil you have. I am writing this from my own experiences. HH

just have to wait and wait and wait!

Try contacting MineLab directly. The more folks pestering them over 3kHz coils the better.

I agree totally.

Rooster,

The 7.5 standard stock coil has great versatility, used ones are available at good prices.

The 3 kHz would be my next choice to complete your set. (wait for a clean used one to pop up)

The depths you will get will be similar to your Vaquaro, but with a better ability to discriminate out or recognize deep junk iron.

Good Hunting
